Theater casts food truck in supporting role

Richard GorelickThe Baltimore Sun

Everyman Theatre has enlisted a food truck to provide dinner for its patrons in its new home.

When the professional Equity theater reopens in its new home on West Fayette Street, Charm City Gourmet will be parked outside the theater for several hours before each performance. Patrons will be able to order directly from the truck and consume their food outside, but Charm City Gourmet will be providing table service inside the theater's lobby.

The truck, a side project of Shapiro's Cafe, serves a full cafe menu that includes New England lobster rolls, falafel and Israeli salads.

The theater's grand opening week, scheduled for Jan. 14-20, kicks off with a ribbon cutting. The official run of "August: Osage County" is Jan. 16-Feb. 17.
